Welcome to the home of
BRAINPIE MEDIA PRODUCTIONS,
independent film production company located in Dallas, Texas. We have
been producing films for more than forty years, taking on the name Brainpie Productions in 1985, and then
Brainpie Media Productions in 1991. We are the film/video branch of our parent
company Stone Bell Creations. Our catalog includes live action and animated
short films, and live action feature films, with more in development. It is
our goal to produce and distribute quality films to our audience, despite the
fact that our budgets may not be in the millions of dollars. We sometimes "go
against the grain" when it comes to our films, believing that the consumer is
more aware of his or her own needs than the corporate decision makers of the
major studios and DVD distributors, and our past efforts have shown that belief
to be more than accurate. Our feature films, in particular, supply the
mainstream audience with entertaining, even thoughtful stories while
maintaining the entertaining elements that make a film good
viewing.

We are owned and operated by filmmaker Jim
DeVault, who picked up a movie camera for the first time forty years ago,
and has been at it ever since. Producing mostly short art-house style films
(being a surrealist at heart), DeVault has also, more recently, begun producing
more mainstream films, such as the short film A Grave Waiting (2007),
and his features The Sisters
Four (2008), The Fun
Room (2010),
Blood Reunion
Trilogy (2012-15),Jebadiah's Axe
(2013),plus Stories in the
Night and Azteq vs. The
Prowler, in production for release in 2016.He continues to work as director, producer and
screenwriter, with feature projects in development for several years down the
road. You can view his IMDb page

On
these pages you will find links to the Brainpie Media Productions Catalog where
you can purchase the films in streaming video or on DVD, current production activity, casting needs,
trailers and other fun stuff.

What
others are saying about Jim DeVault:

"I first met Jim at the North Texas
Filmmakers Network... I went to the meeting because the President
of the Dallas Screenwriter's Association...had told me that every
screenwriter needs to volunteer on a movie set to become
a better screenwriter. This turned
out to be incredibly true and great advice for any aspiring
screenwriter.

"Before I left that evening, his
Producer...had penciled me in as a Production Assistant on the set
of Jebadiah's Axe...

"When I drove up to that
compound in Lake Tawakoni I never imagined what adventures awaited
me, but most of all I never imagined that I would be inspired to
direct my own film.

"It takes a special person to direct a
movie, but it takes an even greater person to inspire others to
direct their own movie, and Jim was an inspiration to me. Everyone
should be so lucky to be a part of his crew...

"Anyone
that makes a movie is a hero in my opinion. It takes an incredible
amount of creativity, work, and patience. Jim masters all of this
while sipping calmly on a Dr. Pepper."

--Denise McMillan, actor
"I
have been on location and have worked with Jim Devault a couple of
times, and I MUST SAY, he as easy to work with and as professional
as they get. I will work with Jim anytime the opportunity arises!"

--Cliff Silver, stuntman
"For a very brief moment I was able to enter his mind and I've
come away with the knowledge that he really is twisted and I love
it."

--Billy Weaver, filmmaker
"This was my first time working with
Jim DeVault, and I have to say he is a wonderful director
to work with!"

--Mike Bacon, actor
"I can say that I have definitely
learned from you. The way you stay calm and patient and treat
everyone on set is amazing. Cheers to you!"
